RIDE
- Chelsea Girl Lyrics / with translationsTake me for a ride away from places I have known,
If I stay around I'll just remember I'm alone
There's someone in my memory making me move on,
What was grey and hazy is black and white
Now I have gone
Drive me up to London now, it's got too dark to see,
My waiting is over, there's no visitor for me.
Never let me talk to you, destroy the frozen past,
It's a different time now, things are moving much too fast.
Float by today, not it's turning to grey,
Raining my doubts let my thoughts slip away.
You must have something and what it is I don't know,
You must have something 'cause I can't let you go.
If I stay around I'll just remember I'm alone
There's someone in my memory making me move on,
What was grey and hazy is black and white
Now I have gone
Drive me up to London now, it's got too dark to see,
My waiting is over, there's no visitor for me.
It's a different time now, things are moving much too fast.
Float by today, not it's turning to grey,
Raining my doubts let my thoughts slip away.
You must have something and what it is I don't know,
You must have something 'cause I can't let you go.
